ANMELDEN~O'LEAN~Two weeks had passed since I was given the mission. Oh well, I hadn't even gotten a clue as to where the omega with the anti-celestial mark was.Nobody… not even a single soul had any idea about what the anti-celestial mark was. I exhaled as I marched into the market.I was in the Moonlit Pack. As I strode, my thoughts wandered to the first time I had arrived at the pack. The Alpha had been petrified — of course, he had heard about the celestial Alpha and the hybrid's raid.He would have thought we were coming to take over his pack. I shook my head slightly; if only they knew.His place couldn't contain me because of my stature, so I had to sleep outside in a place where no one could disturb me. He also made sure I was well fed.I could have asked him to assemble all the omegas in his pack; however, this was a secret mission. They could think whatever they wanted to think, but my search had to continue."Sir, would you care for an apple?" a woman said. She wore a brown dress
~NYRA~I caught up to Mikael. My chest heaving as I stepped into place beside him. He glanced at me, a smirk appearing on his face."Couldn't wait to see me?" he teased, those amber eyes sparkling. I huffed, rolling my eyes."In your dreams," I uttered sarcastically. He chuckled at my retort, which I found offensive.He placed his hands behind his back and continued walking. His clothes, a velvet tailored material, had been draped perfectly on his body.Mikael walked as if he were born with authority. Very swift and yet calculated."You only asked me to join the court, not to agree to be your Luna," I blurted out. That was exactly why I was here. Ever since the meeting at the court, I had been trying to meet with him.It was either he was busy or perhaps he wasn't around.Frustration had resided within me and I had had sleepless nights because of it."You are my mate, Nyra," he responded curtly.My brows pinched together. "It doesn't matter whether I am your mate or not. It's my choic
~JOSIE~I smashed the glass cup I held. Blood trickled down my hands as I threw the shards aside.I turned my neck to the side slowly, grinding my teeth as hard as I could. The door creaked open and my handmaiden stepped into the room."My lady," she called gently.I shook my head. "I. Am. Going. To. Kill. That. Girl." I uttered.That was a promise I was determined to keep."My lady," Teeyana called out again. I shot my gaze in her direction."What!" I snapped.She took a hesitant step forward. "We need to tread carefully if we want to deal with her," her words came out as a whisper. She was cautious about anyone nearby listening to our conversation.What Teeyana said was meaningful, but then… I had been humiliated.Mikael had raised his voice at me. He was questioning me all because of that wench.It was too much to handle.Teeyana took another step forward, her hands resting on my shoulders. "I know how angry you are, my lady. You deserve to be angry… that girl wronged you, and of c
~NYRA~The large iron door opened. My chin was raised, eyes as determined as gold. I made my way into the room; everyone's gaze was on me.Each one had a different expression. Just as I had imagined, many would not be happy with me stepping into the courtroom.I wasn't a hybrid, but Mikael had asked me to come. He said he wanted my entrance to be dramatic and that he would reserve a place for me.I honestly did not know what he was thinking, but it looked like he was trying to rile them up.But why?Isn't that suicide in itself?He doesn't need more drama as it is, having just ascended the throne. I gently raised the gown I wore — it was an emerald green dress that had such delicate detailing on it. One of my newly assigned maids had brought it for me alongside the silver jewelry.I was about to take my seat beside Mikael, who beamed proudly. His whole posture was quite commanding, as though he was proud of me. He acknowledged me, holding my hands as I took my seat.I didn't let their
~NYRA~When she left, the silence here was too overwhelming. It felt like she had left dropping a sentimental topic behind, leaving me to brood on it for a while.At a time when I was supposed to embrace the quietness, I just wanted to do away with it.The guilt I had been feeling was slowly dispersing, and I hated that I wasn't as angry as I ought to be.It irked me to the core that I was giving her words room to settle in.I shouldn't be thinking of Mikael as a good person, not after what he had done to me and… him.I stared at nothing, the thoughts lingering far too long.'The celestial Alpha said he spared our lives because of you. He doesn't want to offend you,' Jerome's words echoed this time around.It left me baffled. What on earth is he thinking?Why would he let them go for my sake?Why does he treat my daughter with that kind of softness, paying rapt attention to her?What is his gain in all of this?'What if he was always like this? There's more to it, Nyra.' My wolf utter
~NYRA~I dropped to the floor where Eric's lifeless body had lain. This was the second time I had been here, but this time I was overwhelmed with guilt and anguish. Mikael's words kept echoing at the same time as Jerome's words."I'm sorry," I choked out. The other words were too heavy to spill out.If only I could go back and rewrite the past, then I would make sure that I had stayed with Eric even when he was already giving in to the temptations laid before us.It hurt me to know that Eric hadn't betrayed me and that he was only a victim of deception. I shouldn't have been hot-headed; I could have waited.The look in his eyes that day flashed in my head. I broke down, my whole body shaking vehemently."You shouldn't have died like this. No man deserves this kind of death," I muttered. I closed my eyes as the sobs came harder and faster.A familiar scent wafted to my nose. My sobs died down; my position changed as I sat down beside the tree."How could you guys let a cruel man rule o
